GCC VERSION 2.3.1

OS: Interactive-3.0 SYSVR3.2

MACHINE: 486 pc

PROBLEM:
  gcc-2.3.1 does not generate (enough!!!) code for the following example
  while gcc-2.2.2 does:

---
#include <iostream.h>

class foo {
  char text[30];
public:
  foo() { strcpy(text, "This is a test"); }
  friend ostream& operator << (ostream& s, foo& f)
  {
    return s << f.text;
  }
};

foo bar;
int main(void)
{
  cout << bar;
}

----

When compiled this program with gcc-2.3.1 I get:

This is a test

The assembler files produced by gcc-2.3.1 does not contain any code
for the overloaded ostream operator <<. 

g++-2.3.1 -S c.c produces this peace of code:
